8 Mile

The people of Detroit know 8 Mile as the city limit, a border, a boundary. It is also a psychological dividing line that separates aspiring hip-hop artist Jimmy Smith Jr. from where and who he wants to be. A provocative fictional examination of a critical week in Jimmy's life, 8 Mile stars multi-platinum recording artist Eminem in his first feature-film leading role, along with Kim Basinger, Mekhi Phifer, Brittany Murphy and Eugene Byrd.
